John Furnival" /></a>

<p>The artist <a href="http://www.visitlondon.com/events/detail/7774632">John Furnival</a> will appeal to many: his works are intelligent, witty and aesthetically very satisfying.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.englandgallery.com/">England &amp; Co Gallery</a> on Westbourne Grove is a wonderful space to display art. The high white walls provide an ideal background for the great variety of work they show, contemporary and modern, paintings, constructions, installations and performance art. John Furnival&#8217;s work looks beautiful on the walls, even more stylish than the dresses for sale in the trendy clothes shops that surround the gallery.</p>
<p>This exhibition has a strong 60s pop vibe. You could imagine seeing one of Furnival&#8217;s prints as an album cover. Indeed Peter Blake (who did the Beatles&#8217; psychedelic <a href="http://thestyleguyal.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/sgt-pepper.jpg">Sergeant Pepper&#8217;s album cover</a>) is a contemporary of  Furnival, and similarities can definitely be seen between both artists&#8217; prints.</p>
<p>Many of the works on display are text related, and use repetition obsessively. A favourite of mine is &#8216;Never Mind &#8211; Doesn&#8217;t Matter&#8217;, a letterpress print, where the green and black compacted words produce a striking design &#8211; with a statement we should all be reminded of once in a while!</p>
<p>England &amp; Co display John Furnival until<strong> 5 June. </strong>Entry is <strong>free. </strong></p>
<p>But don&#8217;t fear if you miss out on this exhibition there is sure to be another eclectic mixed show on, so pop in for your art fix.</p>

				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2604" title="Reconstruction of Keith Haring's Pop Shop at Tate Modern" src="http://dx9rjq5h30myv.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/pop_shop_539.jpg" alt="Reconstruction of Keith Haring's Pop Shop at Tate Modern" width="538" height="404" /></p>
<p>If you&#8217;re into contemporary art, you&#8217;ll definitely want to see <a href="http://www.tate.org.uk/modern/">Tate Modern</a>&#8216;s new exhibition, <a href="http://www.visitlondon.com/events/detail/5280585">Pop Life: Art in a Material World</a>.</p>
<p>The show features work by many groundbreaking artists, including Andy Warhol, Damien Hirst, Tracey Emin, Keith Haring and Jeff Koons.</p>
<p>Across 17 rooms, Pop Life charts the way that artists have embraced commerce and celebrity in an increasingly multi-media world.</p>
<p>The show starts with a look at the work of Andy Warhol, who once proclaimed, &#8220;Good business is the best art.&#8221;</p>
<p>Warhol sold his services as a portrait artist for a fixed fee, and you can see his paintings of celebrities such as Mick Jagger, David Hockney and Grace Jones.</p>
<p>Other items on show include copies of Warhol&#8217;s Interview magazine, advertising images, videos of the artist and friends in the Factory studio, and wallpaper covered with pictures of Warhol&#8217;s face.</p>
<p>In the following rooms, you&#8217;ll see the work of a new generation of artists, who followed in Warhol&#8217;s footsteps and became part of mass media culture.</p>
<p>One highlight is a recreation of Keith Haring&#8217;s <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2009/sep/27/keith-haring-pop-shop-tate">Pop Shop</a>, which originally opened in New York in 1986.</p>
<p>The shop has been faithfully reconstructed at Tate Modern, complete with black and white patterned walls and 80s house music. You can even buy Haring&#8217;s sew-on patches, badges and t-shirts from a hatch in the wall, manned by staff from the Tate shop.</p>
<p>Other must-see exhibits include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Damien Hirst&#8217;s glittering Memories of / Moments with You, made from gold and diamonds</li>
<li>A metalic bronze room containing the work of Pruitt Early (Rob Pruitt and Jack Early), whose work explores popular conceptions of race and adolescence</li>
<li>Images of artist and porn star Cosey Fanni Tutti, whose exhibition at the ICA was taken down after people complained about the adult content</li>
<li>A gallery dedicated to the Young British Artists, including items from Tracey Emin and Sarah Lucus&#8217;s shop in Bethnal Green, East London</li>
</ul>
<p>Allow a few hours to walk around the entire exhibition, and prepare to be starstruck!</p>
<p>Pop Life: Art in a Material World opens at Tate Modern on 1 October.</p>
